Weight Loss At Work?

This weeks episode was centred around a corporate initiated contest for the branch employees to try and loose the most weight as a group when compared to the other branches. This episode highlights the fact that many people with a seditary office job lifestyle are overweight.

I can defintely relate some of the scenes from this show to my experience this summer, working in an office. It appeared as though there was a neverending supply of junk food to go around. Within the first 5 minutes I had entered our work area, a women offered me a cookie. Furthermore, we seemed to have a party for some occasion every other day. Now don't get me wrong, I loved the parties, they provided a jolt of excitment in an otherwise mundane day. However on the other hand, it is easy to see how someone could easily become overweight with all of the junk food around. There was one week in particular where I had been to an office party three days in a row, and a co-worker stopped by my cubicle to say "come for ice-cream in the break room." I declined the invitation because I was not hungry in the slightest, and I didn't want to be around any more food.

In the scene where the staff was throwing a party for Stanely, they had been advised to only offer fruit, No Cake. I think it is probably is a good idea to offer healthy alternatives at work parties. When surprise parties pop up, it is not as though you had been hungry beforehand, however, one may be inclined to eat the cake when they see it there in front of them, especially when situated among co-workers. Attending these parties is an important opportunity to socialize with coworkers who were previously separated from one another through cubicles.

Funniest Moments:
Michael grew a gautee in order to copy Ryan. When Dwight noticed there was a group gautee trend, he also grew one. When Ryan shaved his beard off, Michael shaved his beard. Dwight noticed that Michael no longer had a beard, so he covered his newly grown beard.

Hello Everybody!!! My name is Julia

As many of you might know, a new season of the series "The Offiice" is starting up on Thursday September 25th at 9pm. This program is very entertaining, clever and sometimes laugh out loud hilarious. So if you haven't seen it yet I strongly recommend you check it out!

Within this blog I intend to put forth my opinions of the show and I will also relate the content of the show to my experiences as a student at York University and my job.

I am hoping that other people will share their life experiences as related to the program, "The Office". Perhaps you have experienced a situation that is similar to one on the show, or maybe one of characters reminds you of someone you know. Or alternatively, perhaps you can relate to a situation depicted in one of the blog posts on this site.
